2025 May 3 morning
Monthly Butterfly Walk – Message from Gordon Hart:
The first Butterfly Walk of the year will take place this Sunday, May 4. We will meet at the summit of Mount Tolmie by the reservoir at 1 p.m. After a look around for butterflies, we will decide on a destination from there. Car-pooling is encouraged, and we will try to return by 4 p.m. For any changes or updates, check this site, or the VNHS calendar at https://www.vicnhs.bc.ca/?page_id=1518
